Great result……….
Parents, carers, children’s and staff’s voices have been heard after @GMBCampaigns over the issues at Churchill Community College.
✅ Mobile buildings ordered
All children will be back on site in September
This is what happens when you organise and mobilise.

Yesterday’s commitment from the Chancellor to restore the ULF will make a huge difference to thousands of workers across the region.
This revitalised scheme is exactly the boost workers, employers & the economy need.

Can’t believe this worked 😭
No running water at Lloyd Street Depot in this heat at @MbroCouncil
Security guards on gate with no shelter no water.
Bus drivers back from a day driving in a hot cab with no where to get a drink.
Come on @MbroCouncil sort it out.

500 school support staff, marching for London Weighting Equality. We’re taking the message to Merton Civic Centre. Let’s hope the Council leaders are listening
Nearly 2 years after @GMBCampaigns campaigned for mobile buildings so kids and staff remain on site. Funding has now been secured for a new build.
Thank you to @GlindonMary Labour’s Wallsend MP for her persistence in securing the funding.

Falling pupil numbers shouldn’t mean job losses for school support staff.
Funding exists to help schools manage short‑term drops, cuts are not inevitable.

SeAH Wind workers aren’t asking for more, just fairness.
Shift allowances at industry standard.
A green future must also be a fair one. @GMBCampaigns @TeessideLive @itvtynetees
Craig Thompson retweeted
SeAH Wind took public millions promising good jobs.
Now they want to impose weekend & night shifts with below-industry shift allowances.
This isn’t greed – it’s fairness.
If you take our time and our weekends, you PAY for it.

The idea that workers earning £60k “have it easy” needs challenging. That figure often comes with nights, weekends & sacrifices. The dispute at SEAH isn’t about greed, it’s about defending shift pay & protecting standards for future generations @GMBCampaigns #justtransition
Craig Thompson retweeted
Seah Wind seems to think the “just transition” means a race to the bottom. Our members working shifts deserve industry standard allowances – not cuts. Public money backed this project. Fair pay is not optional. #JustTransition #FairPay #GreenJobs #StandWithWorkers @GMBCampaigns

🚨BREAKING: SeAH Wind workers to strike over 'pitiful' pay 💪
Walk out starts on Wednesday [15 October] and every Wednesday for six weeks.
Workers angry over imposed shift allowances and a 3.1 per cent pay offer that's both below inflation and industry standards 😤

I seem to have hit the age when a “fall” becomes something.
Dislocated my shoulder today.
Great care from @NorthumbriaNHS at Cramlington Hospital to manipulate it back into place.

The North East powered Britain once through our graft in the yards, pits and factories.
Now the Reform Party, ex-Tories in new jackets, want to drag us backwards. Thousands of green jobs would be lost.
Dont let the same people who wrecked our past do it again.

🚨GMB Union is urging North Tyneside Council to scrap plans which could see staff stumping up to park at council offices and leisure centres across the borough🚗🅿️
Meanwhile, councillors are set to trouser up to £6,000 pay rise if the increase is nodded through at a vote of the full council meeting tomorrow😠👇

The school support staff negotiating body will finally bring the recognition vital workers deserve.
These - mostly women - workers are crucial to delivering our children's education.
Labour will reinstate the SSSNB 👏 #TUC25
